For the busy mom who still wants to have a family dinner at the end of a long day, the freezer meal is a great solution. When you have a few free hours in your schedule, cook up several dinner options for your family, store them safely in the freezer and presto! You can have a healthy homemade meal in minutes.

Remember:Combination dishes, like soup, lasagna, casseroles, will last for 4-6 months.
Cooked or uncooked ground beef will last for 2-3 months.
Uncooked chicken will last for 6 months.
Porkchops will last for 3-6 months.(Source: Southern Living)
